It seems silly to have any modern Linux distro be anything but a well implemented rolling release The key here is of course well implemented. I switched recently from Debian back to Ubuntu because I need a system that is properly QC'ed. I was using Debian testing and every time I dist-upgraded something broke. It got so bad that I started waiting for weekends to do it. The greatest problem I have with my relatives who I have running Ubuntu or Fedora is that major version increments will almost always critically break the system because they are often 4 - 6 kernels or other package versions behind. Use an LTS version of Ubuntu. I do think most distros could do better with 3 tiers of packages in a rolling release This is how Debian does it. Problem is that stable branch does not contain many new software, testing/unstable branch is still too volatile for use as a regular system.
